We have watered and fed, and eaten our beef; the long dull day drags by, As I sit here watching our "Archibalds" strafing an empty sky; Puff and flash on the far-off blue round the speck one guesses the plane— Smoke and spark of the gun-machine that is fed by the endless chain. The ammunition carrier is only a link in the great war machine, but he is as vital a link in the chain as the man who goes over the top. And back of the ammunition carrier comes the ammunition maker and the rail road worker and the thousands of varieties’ of war workers until it all comes straight home to the individual man and woman I am only a cog in a giant machine, but a vital llnfc of the chain; And the captain has sent from his wagon-line to fill his wagons again; From the wagon-limber to gunpit dump; from loaders forearm at breech To the working party that melts away when the shrapnel bullets screech. So the restless section pulls out once more in column of route from the right At the tail of a blood-red afternoon; so the flux of another night Bears back the wagons we fill at dawn to the sleep* ing column again— Cog on cog in the gun-machine, link on link in the chain!
